sql management studio cannot install

  • hi. cannot install sql management studio 2017, says setup was blocked a pending reinstall. blind and use a screen reader jaws for windows, and have done multiple reboots. any help

  • This may be a registry fix, it has been in the past, can you give details of your operating system? The error used to occur when an update or install failed at the reboir process which left a reboot pending flag set.

  • Firstly I do not have Windows 10m but looking at people with similar issue you could try what is suggested in this link as it could be related to Visual Studio, also I am assuming that you have checked the Windows Updates to ensure there are no updates pending. I hope Jaws can help you open the hyperlink.

  • I've had similar problems in the past, which haven't been cleared by rebooting.  I blogged about it here - https://thelonedba.wordpress.com/2017/09/18/sql-server-installation-failed-due-to-pending-restart-of-server/ 

    The gist of the solution I used in this case was to launch the installer from a command line prompt and pass in the parameter /SkipRules=RebootRequired

    /SkipRules=RebootRequired

    slash Skip Rules (Skip Rules as one word) equals Reboot Required (Reboot Required as one word).

    I have no idea how your screen reader copes with that, sorry, but I hope that gets you going in the right direction

  • hi. well do you have the command line script how to install sql management studio and the perameter for bypassing the pending reboot. thanks. or point me to where you developed the script, then can then just paste into power shell. using windows 10 1809 64 bit pro. thanks.

  • I am thinking along the others that your registry needs to be looked at and adjusted/cleaned of the pending status...The information is not 100% accurate but you will have to look in your registry and find something similar to this.

    Value: PendingFileRenameOperations

    Location: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    Description:

    Stores the names of files to be renamed when the system restarts.

    This entry consists of pairs of file names. The file specified in the first item of the pair is renamed to match the second item of the pair. The system adds this entry to the registry when a user or program tries to rename a file that is in use. The file names are stored in the value of this entry until the system is restarted and they are renamed.

    IF the server needs rebooting it will have a path  in the key  like the example does otherwise it will be a clean entry.

    Server that does need to be rebooted for pending files:

    C:\>reg query "\\server2\hklm\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" /v PendingFileRenameOperations ***Registry stops here if this FLAG is clean and NO reboot is needed****
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
        PendingFileRenameOperations    REG_MULTI_SZ    \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET2B5.tmp\0!\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\schannel.dll\0\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\_000025_.tmp.dll\0\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET2B9.tmp\0!\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\urlmon.dll\0\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET2BA.tmp\0!\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocvw.dll\0\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET2CA.tmp\0!\??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll

    Good Luck!!
